EXP Parties since patch, ftl.

Guys, guys. I dunno about you but I like to hang out with my friends punching monsters in the face while saying shit to eachother over Skype or in the game chat. I did that before this patch and am still doing it!!! (i'm a new player, though, my best class is a LNC 24. I got in this game because my friends are playing it)
I'm a bit bitter about random pickups since guys very, very rarely do that. They tend to keep silent and just expect you to be omniscient about the game and whatnot :(

Still, fast or slow what I like best is still around so, not complaining.

I formed a 40-44 full party from the search function last night (GLAx2 LNCx3 ARC CON THM). We used a beastmen camp in grid and were able to hold the camp killing spawns as they came to us with a tank on each side. If we ended our EXP chain on the level 49s mobs we would get over 1000xp; I leveled from 40-42 LNC in a decent amount of time. Experience parties are viable but seem to require more party coordination / strategy then before. Just my 2 Galka cents.

Then don't respond if you chose to not read, or don't participate in a debate with someone ><;

Anywho, agreed with guy debating with Baxter. Having my husband play a tankable type job, while I'm on THM with NO way of controling the mobs in leve spawns except with the hope that one of my elemental spells will land some sort of status effect sucks. Really bad. They removed so many spells that I had in order to deal with multiple mobs. Blah. I can deal with AOE's being removed or restricted in my spell casting...I can even de2al with points for traits and such being removed and only be allowed a few other spells or abilities being aloted to my class...but no crowd control? Really? Can I get a Slow and a Para spell...please?

You mean........ the mechanics of a full party with proper setup actually matters now? SHIT!!!!!!!!!! I hate games that make sense.

gtfo with this complaining.

people dont want mechanics though

they want the fastest possible exp and to be 50 instantly

600-700 exp from maxed out chains in a ~25-30 party is pretty nice in my opinion

I just want to be able to have fun without waiting on X class / job to be available for my group. I haven't seen that problem yet so everything's fine to me. (although personally I don't like the mage changes... at all)

This thread is full of baddies :|.

when all people wanted was more marauders for quicker aoe exp

CNJ was a better DD then THM pre 1.20? This is a great joke I hope. CNJ was only a good DD with THM skills.
